W9 – Fell End Nature Reserve

Tuesday 23rd July, 2019 at 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Free
John Wilson Hide, Fell End

A walk by Chris Winnick.

Chris will lead a visit to the AONB’s newest reserve, at Fell End Caravan Park, looking at the butterflies and other wildlife on the reserve as well as explaining its management. Fell End is a compact but highly diverse reserve, consisting of a mix of ancient broad-leaf woodland, limestone pavement and wetlands.  It is managed for wildlife generally, although with a particular emphasis on providing nest sites for birds such as Lapwing and Curlew, which are in decline nationally, largely as a consequence of changes in agricultural practice.

The walk will begin at 10:00am and last approximately 2 hours and is suitable for all ages. It will involve easy walking of less than a mile over level ground on rough tracks. You are advised to bring waterproofs and wear stout footwear.

The reserve includes two hides overlooking a wetland area, so you may wish to bring binoculars with you so that you can spend some time bird-watching after the event.

Sorry, but dogs are not permitted on the reserve.
